Abstract

Although thoracoscopic lung segmentectomy has made significant achievements, there is little known about how to perform subsegmentectomy, which can also acquire a safe margin for curability but with more pulmonary volume reserved. This report presents the surgical procedure for subsegmental anatomic resection of left lower lobe subsegment 6b guided by the simulation of bronchovascular branching through the use of 3-dimensional computed tomographic bronchography and angiography.
